Elizabeth Warren brought her plan for universal health care to Saturday Night Live this week.
The Presidential candidate (played by Kate McKinnon) kicked off the cold open at a rally, aka her “natural habitat” of “a public school on a weekend.” She began by pouring one out for Beto O’Rourke, who announced this week that he was dropping out of the presidential race. After thanking him for sticking around long enough to call her “punitive,” Warren dropped this zinger: “Let me know how my dust tastes, all right?”
Warren then fielded questions from the crowd, including plenty of confused queries about her Medicare for All plan. Asked how it compares to Joe Biden’s, Warren noted that hers “compares favorably in that it exists,” before explaining her three-step approach to paying for Medicare for All. (Step 2: Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos goes from “paying no tax to a tax,” because much like Amazon Prime, if you want to reap the benefits, you gotta pay an annual fee.)
Finally, Warren gave some advice to a woman stuck in a bad relationship… with her current healthcare provider: “One day, Blue Cross Blue Shield is gonna text you from the club, saying, ‘Baby, I miss you,’ and you’re gonna say, ‘New phone, who dis?’”
